An Unexpected Love

Ch 14

Practice and Ice-Cream (couldn't think of another title, sorry!)

Kai's POV

Hiro had come by earlier today.

"So, they already sent someone" confirmed Hiro.

"Yeah and I didn't like him one bit!" complained Tyson.

Tyson, Ray, Max, Angel, Danny and the chief were telling him about the day before, about how after he left Elias dropped by to give them the message that he'd been sent to deliver, Hilary and Mariah were making lunch for us so they were in the kitchen.

"Like I said before I was the captain of the team that he's on, the Dark Slayers, now they know where I am" said Danny.

'I think he wants my trust, he'll have to gain it little by little, I was suspicious about how he got out. At first I began thinking that maybe he was still working for Boris but Elias confirmed that he really was on our side, on the other hand this all could be planned out and they could be acting' I thought, I tuned into what the rest were talking about again.

"Next time they pop up we'll be ready!" Ray said.

"Yeah, so far he doesn't seem strong at all" Tyson said.

"Watch it Tyson" warned Hiro.

"What? I'm just saying the truth" he defended.

"He's right Tyson," agreed Max.

"Never underestimate an opponent" I spoke up, 'he tends to do that and it could cost us' I told myself, 'that's why I'm going to make practice harder'.

"Whatever" said Tyson.

"Don't forget Tyson, I beat you because you underestimated me for my size and because I'm a girl, you better listen to us" Angel warned (she beat him during practice, I don't think I wrote it out, oops sorry!).

"Also, we don't have any information on any one from the Dark Slayers" Kenny reminded him.

"Well, we will beat them one way or another" he said in defense.

"Now that's something I would have to agree with you on" Angel said happily in a determined way.

"YEAH!" they all agreed, of course I agreed but in my own way.

"Well, I hope you'll all be ready for when it really comes down to it" Hiro said.

"Don't worry Hiro, I think they will be ready, if you and me help them a little more in their training I think they'll win no problem" Danny reassured him.

"I have the greatest idea ever!" exclaimed Angel.

"Well, what is it? Don't keep us wondering" Ray said.

"I just thought that we could go to training camp or something, you know?" she said.

"Ok" said Tyson, he really didn't get it.

"Oh… I think I now what you mean, remember when Mr. D would send us out into a deserted place and we'd stay there to train, practice and to get better" Max remembered.

"I remember, it helped a lot, we should do it again" Ray said.

"Yeah, something like that" Angel said.

"I would have to agree, it would help us improve in many ways" Kenny said.

"Oooooooohhhhhhh, I remember now!" Tyson said in realization as it all sunk in.

"So anyways what do you think Kai, after all you are the captain so you get a say in all this" Max decided to ask me.

"It would be best to go" I said it would benefit us greatly.

"Alright it's settled, I'll ask Mr. Dickinson about it since I'm going there to inform him on recent events" Hiro said.

As he got up Mariah came into the room.

"Leaving so soon? We just made lunch" she said.

"You should stay and eat" Hilary said.

"Sorry, I have to go. I have to tell Mr. Dickinson about what happened yesterday as soon as possible" he told them.

"Ok then" Mariah said.

"We'll see you soon" Angel said.

"Yeah bye big bro, I gotta eat!" Tyson said rushing to where the food was.

Everyone else, besides me, laughed and said goodbye to Hiro.

We all sat down to eat in the same places as before, Hilary sat down by Tyson and across from them sat Ray and Mariah, next to them was Max, Kenny was seated across from him. I sat besides Kenny and Angel was across from me, Daniel was sitting next to her.

After they had finished their lunch they were only waiting for Tyson he was on his 10th plate already.

"It's still hard to believe he can eat this much, after all I've only seen him eat twice before, I'm amazed he doesn't get full" said to quietly himself Danny, "he's like a black hole just eating everything and as much as he can" he said a little louder.

"Yep!" Angel chirped, "I thought that too, in fact I still do, you get use to it" she told him.

Danny smiled at her and she grinned back.

"Training starts in half an hour" I announced as I walked out.

"You better hurry up Tyson" Hilary I heard warn him.

I could hear everyone yelling at him to hurry up, they all knew that I go harder on them when they're late.

This time we were going to the park instead of the beach.

I was outside when they all came out; I hadn't told them where to go so they ended up following me.

"Run around the park" I told them when we got there.

"How many laps?" asked Ray.

"Until I tell you to stop" I told him.

"WHAT! That could be hours!" Tyson complained.

"There's no use arguing with him" Angel said.

"She's right let's just do it before he makes it last longer" Ray told him.

"Fine" Tyson reluctantly agreed.

They all took off running, I ran with them, that way there would be less complaining.

I realized that Danny was also running with us, the two other girls were jogging behind the rest of us.

Kenny, who knows what he was doing, all I know is that he was busy on his laptop.

After about 12 laps I decided to take a break, when they all caught up to me they stopped.

They were huffing and puffing and sweating, after all se did run about 3 or maybe even 4 miles nonstop.

Tyson has collapsed on the floor along with Angel and Max.

Hilary had given up after about the first mile and Mariah lasted until the second.

Ray, Daniel and I were leaned forward with our hands resting on our knees we were trying to catch our breath. I have to say even for me I does take a lot out of you. But as usual I cannot show weakness, everyone thinks that I'm not human because I can take all this or I see to be able to, truth is its really hard not to show weakness.

After about 15 minutes I regained most of my strength so I decided to go on and do push ups and sit-ups.

"5 sets of 20 push ups and 10 sets of 40 sit ups" I said.

They groaned and complained but by the time I was half way done with my push ups they all began.

I decided to have battles instead of courses today.

It was Max vs. Angel, Tyson vs. Ray, and Danny decided to join in so I went against him, he was surprisingly strong, I had a hard time but came victorious but just barely, we didn't use our bit beasts though, we didn't need to, we were only testing each other, later on we'd have a real battle, Angel and Tyson won their battles.

When I was done with all I had to do I went and lay down by a nearby tree.

Normal POV

After they were all done with they're training Kai went to a nearby tree and lied down. He had one knee up hands behind his head and his eyes were closed.

With Ray and Mariah

"Hey Ray, are you tired?" Mariah asked.

Ray was sitting on the grass leaning on the tree near Kai.

"A little, but it's nothing some rest won't cure" he said.

Mariah smiled at him and sat down nest to him, he gave her his award winning grin.

"Kai and Danny don't seem very tired, amazingly enough"

"I know but they've had practice, they were both in the abbey and they were taught not to show weakness remember"

"Yeah, but it makes me sad, they had to go through a lot, both of them"

"Kai has had it worse than any of us, he could be like Tala or like Blaize and show some emotion but all he's ever really shown to us is anger"

"You know, I think he likes a certain someone, have you noticed?"

"If you mean Angel, yeah I've noticed, you realize he'll never admit it"

"I know but it'd be fun to get them together"

"What are you up to know Mariah" he said in mock concern.

"Oh, (she smiled slyly) you'll see" she said mysteriously, "I'll have to talk to Hilary later, I have… ideas"

"Just don't get in to trouble"

"I'll try not to" she told him.

Ray pulled her closer to him so now she was sitting between his legs (no sick thoughts!). He was playing with her hair and he was telling her about the trip that they were probably going to take to the wilderness.

With Hilary and Tyson

They were sitting down on the hill talking to each other, well Tyson was lying down on his side and Hilary was sitting.

"Augh, why does he have to be so harsh! I'm so tired!" Tyson complained to Hilary.

"He's just doing what's best for the team" Hilary told him.

"I know but, he's just so cold, I know he's been through a lot but it wouldn't hurt to open up would it"

"It would hurt his pride… hey Tyson could you keep a secret"

"Depends who's it about"

"It's about Angel and Kai"

"Maybe"

"No, Tyson you have to swear you won't tell!" Hilary told him.

"Ok, ok I swear" he said.

"And if you break the promise…"

"Yeah, yeah I know, just tell me already!" he said cutting her off.

"Well, have you seen him around her?"

"Yeah they're together a lot well kinda he's hardly around anyone else"

"Have you seen them talk I mean actually talk"

"Whoa, I just realized they actually do talk"

"Yeah, so if you think about it, I think they like each other"

Tyson was letting this sink in, "you're right" he said sitting up.

"I should get Mariah to help me get them together don't you think?"

"It doesn't matter to me, I'm still shocked that he would like or even care for someone"

"Look Tyson I know you don't see him as someone who has feelings but he is only human" she reasoned with him.

"I know"

"Well just rest and we'll talk about it later"

"Kay" he lied back down only this time his head was in Hilary's lap, she was caressing his cheek with her index finger.

With Danny and Angel

"Hey Danny?" Angel asked she was sitting down on the grass.

"Huh?" Danny responded, he was sitting next to her.

"Do you remember what mom use to call me and you?"

"Yeah she called you Melody because you had a beautiful voice like her even though you were little, and she called me Blaize, that's where you got it from, I used it ever since"

"Yeah, and to her it meant like a blaze of light that's what you were to her, you were the light that was always on you always had energy to burn and it seems you still do" she said smiling at him, "I haven't used mine because I could never have a voice like hers, her voice was amazing she could have been famous but she stayed with us, I could never be like her"

"Jeez, Angel don't say that, you remind me of her every time I look at you, I only wish she were here to see you, you are more like her than you think" he told her.

"Hmm… I want ice cream!" she said loudly changing the subject.

"Come on!" she said pulling her brother up.

He laughed and followed.

She pulled him towards Max and Kenny.

With Max and Kenny

Kenny was telling him about their stats about what he needed to work on since he was the weakest link, (but he didn't tell him that).

"Ok I can do that" Max told him.

"And then once you do that you're going to have to perfect you're new attack, Aqua Inferno right?"

"Yeah, I still have a ways to go, so I just have to perfect my attack and my defenses, which I basically have" Max confirmed.

"Yes that's all" Kenny finished.

"Ok if you're done with me, do you mind closing me? I'm tired, you're training exhausted me!" complained Dizzy.

"You didn't even do anything" Kenny said.

"So, watching them made me very tired!"

"Fine, whatever" Kenny said closing his Dizzy.

Angel was dragging Danny behind her.

"Oh hi Angel, Blaize" Max said.

"Hey! Do you guys want to go get ice cream?" she asked.

"Sure!" he said.

"I guess I would be ok" Kenny agreed.

"She's dragging me along so I guess that I'm coming too" Danny said.

They all laughed a little at Angel and her enthusiasm to get ice cream.

"Let's go get Tyson and Hilary!" she said and took off running towards them.

When Hilary saw her approaching them she told Tyson and he sat up.

"Hey you guys, you wanna come get some ice cream?" Angel asked them.

"Yeah! I was getting hungry anyways" exclaimed Tyson.

"Ok" Hilary agreed.

They got up and joined the rest while she went to go get Ray and Mariah.

Ray was talking to Mariah and she was smiling.

"Hey Angel" Mariah said when she saw her.

"Sup? You wanna get some ice cream with us?"

"Sure that'd be great!" said Mariah as she got up, "come on Ray, let's go!" she said pulling him up.

"Why not?" he laughed and came with them.

"Um… what are we going to do about Kai?" asked Max.

"Oh yeah, I know" she ran up to him.

"What's she going to do?" asked Danny.

"I don't know" Ray said in response.

They watched her run up to him.

"Oh I think I know" Hilary said, "She's going to do what she did last time!"

They all giggled a bit, they heard the story and were now going to witness it.

"What did she do last time" Danny asked.

"Oh yeah you weren't here then" Tyson said dubiously.

Hilary told him about last time.

Angel was standing in front of Kai.

"What" he said coldly.

"Will you come wit us to get some ice cweam pwease? (I think you know what it says)" she pleaded childishly.

"Why?" he responded.

"Because if you don't I'll sit on you again and I'll annoy you like last time but this time there's more people to see" she told him.

"No" he still said smirking, the truth is some of him really wanted to go but he wanted her to be with him too. The other side of him is telling him that didn't want to go because it would show weakness.

"Fine your choice"

She sat down on his stomach straddling his hips. She took a deep breath.

"Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, (small breath) please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please!" she paused for a moment then took another big long breath to do it again, "please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, (small breath) please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, plea…"

"Augh, FINE!" he yelled cutting her off.

"Yay, I knew you would see it my way" she bragged as she pulled him up.

"Whatever" he said getting up.

"Well, come on! Hurry up!" she said grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the group.

Kai was fighting down a blush, as she held his hand and took him where the group was.

They were all laughing because of how she handled the situation.

"Well you got him to come" said Tyson.

"Come on lets go" Angel said trying to prevent him further embarrassment and she quickly dropped his hand when she realized that she was still holding it and held back a blush.

They walked to the ice cream parlor.

Ray and Mariah leading the way and Max and Kenny not to far behind them. Tyson and Hilary were right behind them and behind them were Angel and Danny and Kai.

"Danny…?" Angel asked in a sweet childish way and smiled at him.

"What do you want?" he said suspiciously but in the same sweet childish way.

"Can I get a piggy back ride? Pwease!" she said childishly with a puppy dog pout.

"No" he said.

"Why not!" she mock pouted.

"You look like little girl"

"So right now I am and I should get what I want!" she said laughing.

"Nuh uh, you shouldn't be so selfish"

"I'm no shellfish!" she said.

They both laughed.

"Fine since you won't let me I'll make you" she said quietly to herself.

She stopped and they kept walking. She ran up to him and jumped on him, so she was on his back.

He yelled, he was startled at her sudden action and tried to regain his balance, he almost fell over when she jumped on him.

"Augh, you may be light but that doesn't mean I want to carry you" Danny said and let her slide off.

"Humph fine!" she said getting off of him, "oh Kai" she said in a sing song voice.

"No" he said, short but sweet.

"PLEASE" she begged.

"No"

"You're harder than Danny" she pouted "please, please, please, please!"

"No, besides we're here"

"Fine but you're gonna get an ice cream too 'cause you didn't give me a piggy back ride" she said.

"No"

"Awww, come on, why not?" she asked.

"I don't like it"

"Have you even had one before?"

"Yes, I didn't like it"

"Well you're gonna like what I choose for you!" she exclaimed.

"Whatever"

"Hey Angel we're here!" Max exclaimed cheerfully.

"Yay!" she yelled and ran in along with Max and Tyson.

By the time the rest of them got in there they had already ordered and were waiting for their ice creams to be ready.

What are you getting Danny" she said.

"I'm getting marble, chocolate and vanilla" he said, "you?"

"I'm going to get… mint chocolate chip!"

"What are you getting for Kai, same thing?"

"Yep"

She had already ordered hers and Kai's.

After Danny ordered the rest did.

Ray also got marble, Mariah got strawberry, and Hilary got chocolate this time instead of sherbet like the last time they got ice cream. Max got bubblegum, Kenny got vanilla, Tyson got rocky road.

When they got their ice creams they went outside and headed back to the dojo, it was already around 6 in the afternoon.

This time Mariah and Hilary walked together, they were talking about how to get them together, Kai and Angel. They came up with a couple of ideas.

Ray, Max, and Tyson were talking about anything that came to mind and Kenny was walking alongside them listening and every once in awhile he would say something.

Kai was walking quietly with Danny and Angel who were talking every once in a while other wise they were walking in silence.

"So Kai" Angel began, "how'd you like it?"

"Like what?" he asked.

"The ice cream"

He shrugged.

"HA! I knew you'd like it!" she said happily.

"Whatever"

"You know you guys are funny" Danny said, "Kai you're so stubborn it's entertaining to watch Angle struggle with you" he said and laughed a little.

Angel stuck her tongue out at him playfully.

They laughed and Kai had a slight smile on but he didn't show it.

By sunset they were a street away from the dojo.

"I love the sunset" Angel said looking up in to the sky.

"Yeah so did mom" Danny said following her gaze.

"Hmmm, every time I see it, it reminds me of her" Angel said in a sad cheerful voice.

They kept on walking.

When they got to the dojo they all just sat down and watched TV or talked.

"I'm bored!" complained Tyson.

"Well how about we play a game" Mariah suggested.

"Yeah, seems like fun" she said.

"What kind of game?" asked Max.
